Proclamation of Ringwood As a City PROCLAMATION OF RINGWOOD AS A CITY SATURDAY, 19th MARCH, 1960 ^^artn&rA in "I approve of having something pre-eminent and kingly in a state; something must also be assigned to the authority of the leading citizens; lastly, something must be left to the judgment and will of the common people." — CICERO. COMMONWEALTH CO-OPERATION federal ^^AT£ CITY OF RINGWOOD A1.A1.B.1V. C.R.B. SIR DALLAS BROOKS H.R.H. QUEEN ELIZABETH Governor of Victoria RINGWOOD — a City of Co-operation and Conservation The end of World War II in 1945 saw Ringwood, the young Rural Borough which had seceded from Lilydale some 21 years earlier, still very much an orchard district, and showing little promise of the development which was in such a short time to bring it to the status ot a City. Situated, as it is, only 15 miles from Melbourne at the foot of the Dandenongs, it has emerged as a beautiful residential suburb, determined to retain its rural beauty which can barely be rivalled by any other City in the Metropolis. The rapidity of its progress has posed the 22,000 inhabitants with a challenge that they have already proved they are prepared to accept, the provision of the capital improvements vital in a modern society — community services, cultural development, sporting facilities and the like. Tribute is paid to the citizens who, through the agency of more than 100 voluntary organisations, have co-operated with the Council to a commendable degree in its dual tas of developing its nine square miles of territory to meet the needs of the people, whilst at the same time conserving, wherever possible, the natural beauty of Rmgwood. A MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR . As we approach Proclamation Day, I am sure every citizen is proud of the beautiful municipality in which we live. The road has not been easy — thousands of people have chosen to live here in the past decade, creating prob lems which are a challenge to a young and vigorous com munity. Many things remain to be done, the amenities neces sary to a prosperous and growing community come slowly in these days of high capital cost, but we have done well. To those who have assisted our pioneers; the citizens who came later; our Members of Parliament; my Council and its officers; and the many organisations in Ringwood, I extend sincere thanks. I hope you will enjoy and remember the celebrations which proclaim us the City of Ringwood. Cr, A. G.

Erected by a grateful public as a tribute to Ringwood citizens who served in World War I, the Memorial Clocktower serves as the focal point for all R.S.L, Ceremonial. The Ringwood Sub-Branch had several temporary meeting places in the years leading to 1952, when property was purchased in Station Street to provide a permanent "home," in the form of Memorial Club Rooms, which have been improved and extended to cater for all forms of club activities. The interest created by having its own premises has built mem bership to more than 600, and this has allowed the R.S.L, to greatly expand its welfare activities. In the past year Welfare Activity has increased two-fold, all records have been broken for the sale of Anzac Day, Poppy Day and Legacy Appeal Badges, and hospital visitation and blood-bank dona tions have been Instigated. The recent purchase of additional property adjacent to the existing club rooms will permit the Sub-Branch to fulfil Its intention of further expansion. RED CROSS Ringwood Emergency Service Company No. 1 was the first Com pany formed in Australia. Two of its members, Mrs. H. E. Parker and Mrs. Cribbes, have received medallions and two bars for forty years of service. In recent years new Companies have been formed at Ringwood East and Heathmont, with Junior Red Cross Circles at Ringwood East and Winnington Grammar School. Members are instructed in First Aid and Home Nursing; also assist with immunisation services, the Mobile Blood Bank, and are in charge of Medical Loan Equipment. Ringwood East Company gives valuable service in transporting incapacitated patients to and from hospital. Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Cribbes who have received forty year certificates. PUBLIC UTILITIES The Utility Services which are an accepted part of our community life are provided by a number of inter-related public and semi-public organisations.

  • SCG Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation
    Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation September 2019 spence-consulting.com Spence Consulting 2 Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation Analysis by Gavin Mahoney, September 2019 It’s been over 20 years since the historic Victorian Council amalgamations that saw the sacking of 1600 elected Councillors, the elimination of 210 Councils and the creation of 78 new Councils through an amalgamation process with each new entity being governed by State appointed Commissioners. The Borough of Queenscliffe went through the process unchanged and the Rural City of Benalla and the Shire of Mansfield after initially being amalgamated into the Shire of Delatite came into existence in 2002. A new City of Sunbury was proposed to be created from part of the City of Hume after the 2016 Council elections, but this was abandoned by the Victorian Government in October 2015. The amalgamation process and in particular the sacking of a democratically elected Council was referred to by some as revolutionary whilst regarded as a massacre by others. On the sacking of the Melbourne City Council, Cr Tim Costello, Mayor of St Kilda in 1993 said “ I personally think it’s a drastic and savage thing to sack a democratically elected Council. Before any such move is undertaken, there should be questions asked of what the real point of sacking them is”. Whilst Cr Liana Thompson Mayor of Port Melbourne at the time logically observed that “As an immutable principle, local government should be democratic like other forms of government and, therefore the State Government should not be able to dismiss any local Council without a ratepayers’ referendum.
